LET IN THE LIGHT
Gerard Nugent

280 pages
Richie Carlisle never wanted to be famous.
After stumbling into the limelight five years ago, he soon found himself spectacularly crashing back out of it. Now, he spends his days working in a small music shop, attempting to live a quiet life as a part-time Dad.
But his fifteen minutes of fame has taken its toll. His inspiration for songwriting, music and life in general seems to have all but disappeared.
When Richie is given a flyer advertising the first meeting of the Hope Street Songwriters' Circle, it's a chance to step back into the world. But after years of hiding away, letting in the light wont be easy.
Set in Edinburgh, this powerful story explores the complexities of love and relationships. LET IN THE LIGHT is both heart-breaking and uplifting and is a must-read for fans of Mike Gayle and Nick Hornby.

RRP £12
The EU referendum vote landed awkwardly into the life of DG: with a German wife, bilingual son, French grandmother and Irish ancestry, the task of divesting himself from his European past was a near impossible one. Besides, his wife had had enough and decided it was high time to leave the UK. A poetry collection of wide-scoped rumination: identity, personal history, nationhood as well as a hard-headed scrutiny of modern political themes.

Retracing the footsteps of one of Japan's most celebrated poets this poetry collection takes a startlingly frank look at modern Japan through the prism of four centuries of dramatic change. Despite phenomenal modernisation and challenges that the monk-poet Basho could only have dreamed of, something else lingers on, and coastal mountains encumbered by thick snow can still evoke a living past that time has done very little to alter.

With Britain determined to flush itself down the toilet no matter what, DG did what any self-respecting Englishman would do in the circumstances. He left.
A new world presented itself. A new life. One full of bright colours, expensive rents but above all, hope.
After all,
"...when you can climb the 1200 metre Kandel mountain straight out your back door and from there gaze out across hundreds of miles of snowy Swiss Alps, French vineyards and German forest you know things are truly looking up..."

Cormorant
Marcus Gladstone-Noble

4 b&w photographs by Jamie Grant
5x8 in, 12.5 x 20 cm
RRP £7.50
The solitude of the noble cormorant is emblematic in this terse collection as the writer explores the virtues of the battering ocean and the barren moor, of coastlines strewn with the shells of winter, of harbours and hidden holloways carved out by the wind, all signifying Devon at its most mysterious and seductive.

An elegant exposition of the chilling beauty of Dartmoor and the Devon coastline, of life and love lived among the tumbling Tors, ragged cliffs and ancient woodland. Poems to impact and inspire and remind us of a landscape riddled with ancient words and wonder.

How do you draw music?
Such was the deceptively simple question that DG asked himself and that this book begins to answer. A gem of a book that brings to life some of the classical musicians, composers and conductors who have inspired the author over the years. A unique poetry collection that explores the very soul of music.
"A drawn line is a pure and beautiful thing. It is the melody of the art world. It takes the lead and everything hangs upon it. It can be pure, simple and elegant. It can be jagged, raw and powerful. A line can say anything, just as a melody can take you anywhere." DG
